With international business and diplomacy starting to open back up, South Korea is issuing documents to as many as 550 people a day certifying that they are free of the coronavirus so they can be admitted to certain countries that require them.
According to an official at the Central Disaster Management Headquarters on Tuesday, the documents are being issued at 25 designated medical institutes, with more to be issued if demand increases.
Back in March, there were just 300 such documents issued, rising to about 17-hundred a month in April and May.
